WAKAN GLI
2026, France

Directed by Baptiste et Pierre Colleu
Documentary, 20’
France, 2026

Stéphane, 63, lives alone in a tiny house on the edge of a village in France, decorated like the Wild West. Orphaned, deaf, and nearly illiterate, he spends his days watching westerns, as memories and fiction start to blur.
Thousands of kilometers away, in Yellowstone, a white bison is born, a sacred symbol of rebirth and transformation, echoing the myth of the White Buffalo Woman, and perhaps stirring in Stéphane the memory of a mother he never knew. Wakan Gli (“Sacred Return” in Lakota) is a poetic, dreamlike documentary about memory, identity and the ghosts of the past.

PARWANA
in production, France / Pakistan

Directed by Baptiste et Pierre Colleu
Documentary, 70’
France / Pakistan

In Lahore, Saïma, a hijra guru in her sixties, refuses to let the dhamal disappear. The Sufi trance dance has been banned from the sanctuaries her community has always called home. She is looking for another place, another night. Parwana (moth) follows this crossing of the city in the dark: hidden spaces, bodies letting go, electronic rhythm woven through with sufi poetry. As dawn rises over the banks of the Ravi, something has been consumed. Like the moth drawn to the flame, we don't always know what we are truly seeking when we move toward the light.
